Percy and Maggie enjoying My Cousin Vinny together?

We joked how they would know every line in the movie.

Girls Night (Percy Jones + Magnolia Sinclair)

Percy and Maggie have a movie night.

I hope I did Percy justice!! It was fun writing for her ♡

Percy Jones belongs to @the-pinstriped-hood !!

Percy's arrival in Ambrose traveled fast within the town. From Bo to Vincent to Lester and to finally Maggie, all of the Sinclairs welcomed her to their home with open arms. She was a good change to happen to the quiet town, but as days went by, Maggie began brewing up an idea.

It's safe to say that Bo wasn't the only one itching to know everything about the novelist.

Maggie scoured the Sinclair home before stopping in the dining room. Sitting at the head of the table was Percy; her hair was tied back and her glasses reflected the walls of text from her laptop. "Hey Percy, do you have plans tonight?" The brunette glanced from her computer to the blonde and groaned. "I will if I can't clear out these emails..." Maggie pulled out the chair across from her, resting her head on her propped up hands. "Well, if you get your work done early, I thought we'd have a girls night! I've always wanted to have one and I think it'd be a nice way to know each other."

Percy hesitated before resuming to her computer. "What do you have planned?" Maggie smiled, "Just a movie night down at the theater. I talked to Bo and it turns out you have good taste." Percy's brow quirked upwards, "Really now?" "Really! It just so happens that My Cousin Vinny is also my favorite movie. We can camp out in the theater." At the sound of the title, Percy immediately shut her laptop and gave her full attention to Magnolia.

Her smile was soft and her eyes lit up, "Count me in."

Later that night, the Ambrose movie theater was alive. The girls showed up in their best attire: a matching purple and white PJ set for Maggie and Bo's old Johnny Cash tour shirt and grey sweatpants for Percy. The shorter woman was quick to grab all the necessary snacks and set the movie up for her new friend. "How often are you in here?" Percy gazed around the cinema, a smile dawned her lips as she admired the vintage decor. "A lot. When you have a whole place like this to yourself, it'd be a shame not to take advantage of it."

As the movie started, the girls mostly remained quiet. Though, they couldn't help talking in between smaller scenes. From sharing small behind the scenes facts to Magnolia giggling whenever Mona Lisa came onto the big screen. The energy was light and fun, and it all came ahead in the scene.

Mona Lisa Vito was called up to be an expert witness.

Mindlessly, Percy mumbled along with the movie. "No. The defense is wrong." Maggie giggled and lightly nudged her, "Are you sure?" "I'm positive." Line by line they acted along the film; their increasing giggles became hard to suppress. Percy smiled at Maggie's overacting as she took her hands. "Thank you, Miss Vito. No more questions. Thank you very, very much.

You've been a lovely, lovely, witness." At the drop of Percy's hands they broke into chuckles.

"Y'know Magnolia, this idea wasn't too bad." The Sinclair smiled. "Please, call me Maggie. "

Top 5 outfits excluding uniforms

oooh interesting interesting. I’m staying away from like Period Costume for this (ex. the big goodbye) just for the sake of narrowing things down but those tend to be really well done. also halfway through this just devolved into analysis sorry

1. troi evil milf dress. on a note that I’m sure is totally unrelated, marisa tomei as mona lisa vito in my cousin vinny was a formative influence for me

2. like I’m largely Whatever about vash in general but I liked this little indiana jones adventuring ensemble. it’s functional it looks good and i like the style even if it’s not wildly complex or anything

also this started to get really long so im putting it under a cut

3. listen do I feel like I’m gentrifying poverty by including bell riots julian bashir? yeah a little. but like blame him for showing up to the past in a tailored outfit with alternating patterned/solid layers and interesting lines. it’s a good look for him ok.

4. I’m cheating and using two here partly because if I do not look at sito jaxa image every day I will die forever but I liked these two outfits as really good establishing ones for bajoran fashion. I like the looser knits, more natural textures, and silhouettes that hang or flow a little more to create a really distinct contrast to the extremely structured look of cardassian fashion.

5. actually im continuing the tangent of like ones I just think are interesting for one reason or another but the trill outfits in this scene! we don’t see jadzia out of uniform a ton, and when we do her outfits tend to be pretty. simple? they’re usually fairly monochrome and nothing wildly interesting with the silhouttes. i think in this episode with the other two trill outfits and also with lenara’s other costumes we see that they do favor pretty simple silhouttes without a lot of layers, but they also go for metallics and fun swirly designs. lenara’s outfit here has more going on and does have some levels to it but like if your wife from lifetimes ago is gonna be there you’re gonna go all out you’re gonna wear something standout and i respect it. also the blue crossbody sash thing and worf’s baldric....idk if the parallel is intentional but i am seeing it

also bonus one historical look just bc I felt like I was missing out if I didn’t include this guinan outfit. I wish they didn’t shoot this episode in a way that makes me feel like there’s something fogging up my contacts but despite that it seems like there’s a lot of detail here and I think she looks fresh

honorable mentions off the top of my head go to every wesley sweater, robin lefler’s dress bc i think it’s fun, ro laren’s jacket in preemptive strike (i think the jacket and the shirt is a little much but i like the jacket), and every quark suit

#I did actually go back to lower decks to see if I could get a full outfit shot and i could not it was always blurry #thought it was due to my tears but alas it was not #id is in alt text for all of these but I know fuck all about proper fashion terminology so. I did my best ok #I know I took a turn on this one but I saw something to analyze and the endeavor was doomed but hopefully it’s interesting anyway lmao #ty!!#ask game

📷 😍 and for 🌻: if you could voice a one-off role on South Park what kind of character would you want to play?

Hey anon! Here are my answers😁

📷 - The Gov. Polis interview, particularly for these reasons here 🤩

😍 - Aside from the documentary series, I'm itching to see what this horror movie could be! Even better would be a horror movie starring THEMSELVES!🤩 Although I'm sure it would be more along the lines of a horror comedy like Shaun of the Dead, but I would be really curious and excited to see them star in a more serious horror movie😄

🌻 - If I got the chance to voice ANY role on South Park, it would be a major dream come true!🤩 But it's the batshit crazy type roles that are the most fun to play, and we know SP is chock full of 'em! I've also always had this idea in my head that if they were ever to introduce Sheila's sister and I got offered the chance to voice her, I would use Mona Lisa Vito from My Cousin Vinny as my vocal muse for her😄

Mona Lisa Vito Is My Queen

CW/TW: surgery, operations

I mean, let’s be real: is there anyone more iconic? Every time I watch My Cousin Vinny and it gets to the part where Vinny calls her to the stand I get giddy. Every single time. I know it’s coming. It’s always the same. But it’s always so satisfying.

As you may have guessed, that was on last night’s watchlist. Dad and I tried to watch Poor Things, but that was just not working for us. A little too weird and a little too much sex for us to watch together. I do plan on finishing on my own, at some point. It was also weird for me after having been drilled into yesterday. I’ve got two more drains hanging from my body, and a Frankenstein-esque tale was maybe a little too on the nose. So we stopped partway through; Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei came to the rescue.

So yeah, yesterday was a lot. The drains were unexpected, and are painful. And the news with them isn’t ideal. Despite being on basically constant antibiotics for the last 5 fucking weeks (yes, I’ve been in the hospital for 5 weeks. I’m starting to go stir crazy.) I’m still having pockets of inflammation and infection pop up. So now the doctors think that I’m going to have to have another, larger operation for an ileostomy. Not what I wanted to hear. Not sure how to tell dad. Not sure how to even deal with it myself. Then there’s my aunt in it all, who got into one of her pitbull modes (which I appreciate in her) over the fact that I’ve been here for so long and haven’t had nearly enough talk about the cancer in my body. She wants me to transfer to a different hospital. I did put in a request through a form she sent me. It makes sense to me that my doctors are saying with my active Crohn’s and infection that I can’t begin cancer treatment, but it also seems like this has just taken too long. I don’t know what I’m thinking or doing. Stay, transfer? I just don’t know. I’m out of my depth. It’s taking it out of dad too, I can tell. He’s trying really hard, but I know this is difficult for him. And mom. We’re all tired.

I guess today is hard too. I’m just coloring and letting my brain be mush. Dad should be here soon. What will we do? Idk. Probably watch something. There’s not much to do in the hospital. Had a nice FaceTime with the group earlier. I should be in Ocean City with my friends right now, but here I am in a hospital bed instead. The weather down there is even nice for March. I don’t know. I don’t believe that everything happens for a reason, but I feel it a little? Like I always end up where I’m supposed to be. Even though this certainly doesn’t feel like where I am supposed to be right now. And they’re moving my room to a different floor today. I won’t get to say bye to my favorite nurses and that makes me sad.

I don’t really have a point to all of this rambling. Just getting it out I suppose. Happy Saturday, I guess.

Tomei, Tudyk, Trejo, Swallow Among Additions to FAN EXPO Philadelphia In Next Wave of Celebrities

Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny, The Wrestler) and fan favorites Alan Tudyk (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, “Firefly”), Danny Trejo (Machete, The Book of Boba Fett), Emily Swallow (“The Mandalorian,” “Supernatural”) and Jeff Ward (“One Piece,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) are among the additions to the growing celebrity lineup at FAN EXPO Philadelphia, set for May 3-5 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Joonas Suotamo (Star Wars) and Diana Lee Inosanto (“Ahsoka”) round out the newcomers to the roster.

Marisa Tomei blasted onto the scene with her Academy Award winning performance as “Mona Lisa Vito” opposite Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny. After the Best Supporting Actress win, she went on to roles in Chaplin, Untamed Heart and the Paper, later appearing on Broadway before earning two more Oscar nominations, the third for The Wrestler. She also had a recurring role in the hit series “Empire” and appeared as “Aunt May” in three Spider-Man blockbusters.

Alan Tudyk gained fans’ attention when he starred as wise-cracking "Hoban 'Wash' Washburne" in "Firefly" and Serenity, and later grabbed the “Star Wars” fandom with his portrayal of “K-2SO” in Rogue One. He also appeared in Wreck it Ralph and 42 and has lent his voice to characters in hits like “American Dad,” “Harley Quinn,” “Transformers: Earthspeak” and “Star vs. the Forces of Evil.”

Danny Trejo has developed a prolific career in the entertainment industry with a hard-earned and atypical road to success. From years of imprisonment to helping troubled youth battle drug addictions, from acting to producing, and now on to restaurant ventures, Trejo’s name, face, and achievements are well recognized in Hollywood and beyond. He has starred in dozens of films including Desperado, Heat, the From Dusk Till Dawn series, Con Air, Once Upon A Time In Mexico, the Spy Kids movies, Machete and many more.

With her portrayal of “The Armorer” in “The Mandalorian” in the hit Netflix series “The Mandalorian,” Emily Swallow added another role to her growing resume. She also appeared as “Kim Fischer,” a regular on “The Mentalist” and as “Amara / The Darkness” in the 11th season of “Supernatural.” She also voiced the role of “Lisa Tepes” in the animated Netflix fantasy action series “Castlevania.”

Jeff Ward played “Deke Shaw” as a regular on “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” from 2017-2020, and most recently appeared in the first season of the Netflix adventure/comedy “One Piece.” Fans will also recognize him from his work in “Brand New Cherry Flavor” and the TV movie Manson’s Lost Girls, where he gave an appropriately creepy performance as the cult leader.

Joonas Suotamo has assumed the mantle of the iconic role of “Chewbacca” in numerous iterations of the Star Wars saga since first appearing as the Wookiee in Episode VII – The Force Awakens in 2015. The Finnish actor also stepped out of the familiar character to appear in four episodes of the Disney series “Willow.”

Diana Lee Inosanto appears as “Morgan Elsbeth” in the Star Wars “Ahsoka” production on Disney+, opposite Rosario Dawson, David Tennant and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She originated that role in an episode of “Mandalorian” in 2020 after appearing in dozens of movies and shows as a stunt person and a variety of other entertainment jobs.

They join a lineup that already includes headliners Mario Lopez (“Saved by the Bell,” “Access Hollywood”), Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, “Gilmore Girls”), Felicia Day (“The Guild,” “Dragon Age: Redemption”), Ben McKenzie (“Gotham,” “The O.C.”), Holly Marie Combs (“Charmed,” “Picket Fences”), Adam Savage (“MythBusters,” “Unchained Reaction”), Michelle Hurd (“Star Trek: Picard,” “Law & Order: SVU”), Sofia Boutella (Rebel Moon, The Mummy) and Jason Lee (“My Name is Earl,” The Incredibles).

Single-Day Tickets, Three-Day Passes, Ultimate Fan and VIP Packages for FAN EXPO Philadelphia are available now. Advance pricing is available until April 18. More guest news will be released in the following weeks, including line-up reveals for additional headline celebrities, comic creator guests, voice actors and cosplayers.

Philadelphia is the eighth event on the 2024 FAN EXPO HQ calendar; the full schedule is available at fanexpohq.com/home/events/.

During a question and answer panel for the TV show severitywhich he directs, Stiller revealed that he auditioned for the film, perhaps for the role offered to Ralph Macchio. But according to Stiller, he "watered" it. Film journalist Will Mavity, reporting from the question-and-answer session, shared Stiller's confession on Twitter, quoting his words: "I screwed her up at my audition for My Cousin Vinny. It still haunts me to this day.” Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for her role as Mona Lisa Vito, the fiancée of Joe Pesci's unlikely lawyer Vinny, in Jonathan Lynn's acclaimed film. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny (Allstar/Cinetext/20 CENTURY FOX) Stiller had a small role in the war drama Empire of the Sunby Steven Spielberg, in 1987, and recently explained why the filmmaker was forced to scold him on set, in which the star of Zoolander described as "the most embarrassing thing in history." the series of AppleTV+ severitystarring Adam Scott, will have a second season in 2023. It is Stiller's first television project since Escape at Dannemora.

Being Mona Lisa Vito’s best friend would include~

(Not my gif)(Requested by anonymous)

- Mona Lisa is an amalgamation of different stereotypes but in the best way possible. The mom friend, the wine aunt, the wild child, the Italian uncle: you name it and there’s a dash of it inside of her. It’s what makes her so great to be around: she’s always prepared for every situation the two of you get into and she’s incredibly fun to be around.

- The two of you probably live together and have lived together since your early twenties; if not sooner. It’s an arguably cheap and run down New York apartment but you still consider it home and the two of you wouldn’t have it any other way; except maybe for her to live with Vinny after the two of them finally get married....

- Speaking of: you’re the one who gets the brunt of her “biological clock” rants. She can only talk to Vinny about it so much and since you’re her number one confidant, you’re the next in line.

- By the way, she’s so smart and has such a big family that nothing in your apartment ever stays broken for very long. If she’s not fixing it than her father or one of her cousins is so you never have to worry about hopefully getting the maintenance man to swing by “when he gets the chance”.

- Car troubles? You’ve got her and her family of mechanics to help you no matter where you are or what time it is. You’ll never have to worry about a flat tire or a stalled engine ever again.

- If the previous points haven’t made you aware of it already, I’ll say it plainly here: you can always rely on her. The two of you could be having the argument of your lives and she’ll still be there for you if she thinks you need her or if you’re obviously scared/hurt enough to swallow your pride and reach out. You love each other like sisters and sometimes sisters fight, that doesn’t mean you don’t love and take care of each other.

- She honestly likes helping you: it makes her antsy when she isn’t able to immediately fix something for the people she cares about.

- It’s part of the reason why she performs sweet, little gestures without you having to ask her. A big part of her love language is acts of service; and she’s just really considerate in general, so don’t be surprised if she surprises you with freshly dry-cleaned clothing for your important job interview or a home cooked meal after a long and hard day.

- Sorry but you’re family now. You don’t even have to be Italian: peep your Chinese/black ass at Sunday’s spaghetti dinner, scarfing down garlic bread like a true Vito.

- And speaking of family: she probably sets you up with one of her brothers/cousins so that you could be her “sister” in marriage. She’s your wing woman whether you want her to be or not; and regardless of whether you’re interested in her family or an entirely different kind of man.

- Lets be real here: if she thinks your boyfriend is an asshole, you’re gonna know. She’s one of those girls who are openly hostile and passive aggressive with people she doesn’t like; especially if they’ve hurt you in some way, so even he’s gonna know she doesn’t like him.

- You can always rely on her for the cold, hard truth. She doesn’t mince her words when you ask for her opinion so while it may be harsh, she’s the best person to go to when you need a very thorough and honest answer.

- She doesn’t care about decorum so if you need someone to hold your dress while you pee, pop a zit on your back, or not care if you use the toilet as she showers, she’s your girl.

- She’s also got your back if you need someone to check if your period came early or pull your skirt down quickly and inconspicuously when you get up from your seat.

- We’re taking about an Italian woman here, alright? The two of you probably do hair treatments together. Catch the two of you watching Golden Girls while the bleach/Nair sets in.

- Don't mind her, she’s just blasting short dick man outside your bed room door with a bottle of wine and chocolate after she finds out your boyfriend broke up with you.

- Going shopping. She respects the game and she’s definitely the one you want to go to for fashion advice.

- Always having someone to do your hair; though you’ll occasionally have to take one for the team and let her massacre it with gel and curling irons because she “needs to practice for class”.

- She definitely gets you ready for any dates that you go on: doing your hair and makeup, picking out your outfit, pouring you a little alcohol to calm you down; all while chewing a tasteful amount of gum like a true Italian hairdresser.

- The two of you have a bunch of random pictures together and a collection of snapshots that she insisted on taking of you.

- She’s honestly down to do anything so you just make the plans and she’ll be there. Concerts, new restaurants, a night in; you name it and she’s your plus one.

- Going out for drinks and pool.

- She takes great pride in showing people up and you love standing back and watching her give a guy a mouthful.

- Nights filled with Chinese take-out and television.

- Wrapping your arms around each others shoulders.

- Platonic cuddling is where it’s at and it’s what’s going to happen.

-Those cheek kisses where you exaggerate the noises. Muah!

- You and Vinny kind of have a love-hate relationship but you still like the guy and he likes you. It’s hard to truly hate him when he sacrifices date night because your cat died; even when you insisted you’d be fine staying home alone.

- Both of you knowing where the other persons things are. Getting ready in the morning? You’re both asking the other person where you left like 50% of your belongings.

- She was put on this Earth to schedule your doctors appointments for you and to tell the waiter that your order is wrong. Trust in her and you will succeed.

My Cousin Vinny 1992

Breakfast scene.

My Cousin Vinny is a 1992 American comedy film directed by Jonathan Lynn, from a screenplay by Dale Launer. The film stars Joe Pesci, Ralph Macchio, Marisa Tomei, Mitchell Whitfield, Lane Smith, Bruce McGill, and Fred Gwynne in his final film appearance. It was distributed by 20th Century Fox and released on March 13, 1992.

The film deals with two young New Yorkers traveling through rural Alabama who are arrested and put on trial for a murder they did not commit, and the comical attempts of a cousin, Vinny Gambini, a lawyer who had only recently passed the bar exam after five unsuccessful attempts, to defend them. Much of the humor comes from the fish-out-of-water interaction between the brash Italian-American New Yorkers (Vinny and his fiancée, Mona Lisa Vito) and the more reserved Southern townspeople. Principal location of filming was Monticello, Georgia.

My Cousin Vinny was a critical and financial success, with Pesci, Gwynne, and Tomei all praised for their performances. Tomei won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Attorneys have also lauded the film for its accurate depiction of court procedure and trial strategy.

Describe Yourself Using 3 Fictional Characters

I wasn’t tagged, but I saw @sassylavellen do this and it seemed fun!!

Luke Crain - The Haunting of Hill House

I’m not just saying this because he’s my favourite btw. I think that I’m like Luke because throughout the series he’s underestimated and pretty much only his twin believed in him. I’m also underestimated a lot in my opinion. A lot of people think I’m less intelligent, strong, etc. than I am. And my mum and brothers are pretty much the only people who genuinely believe I’ll do well in life.

Mona Lisa Vito - My Cousin Vinny

Okay so, I might not be a car expert, but personality wise I feel a lot like Lisa. All throughout the trial, she helps Vinny in both minor and major ways because she cares about him, something I can see myself doing. Both she and I are tough and don’t take shit from people, oftentimes resorting to sarcasm as a defense mechanism.

Shelby Eatenton - Steel Magnolias

Shelby and I are similar in a lot of different ways. Just like Shelby, I’m very close with my mum and often butt heads with her. I’m not diabetic like she is, but I do have a lot of health problems. We both have brothers that drive us nuts, but at the end of the day, they’re still brothers. Shelby and I are both very opinionated and are willing to stand up for our morals and what we think is right.

I’m tagging: @elevanetheirin @radioactiveandraste @kadans @cullenvhenan @star--nymph @hawke-said-sarcastically @beckily @raiderwithshotgun @bladesremains and anyone else who wants to do this!!

Joe Pesci Recorded a 'My Cousin Vinny' Cash-In Album and It's Terrible

Here’s a little-known fact: Joe Pesci started out not as an actor, but a singer. Under the name Joe Ritchie, he cut his first album in 1968, a collection of lounge songs (including some jazzy Beatles covers) that failed to launch him to singing stardom. But 30 years later, after his acting career peaked with Goodfellas, My Cousin Vinny, and Casino, Pesci decided to give singing another shot. Not only that: He decided to do it in the persona of his Vinny character.

Related: ‘My Cousin Vinny’ Turns 25: How Marisa Tomei’s Character Was Almost Cut From the Movie

The cover of Joe Pesci’s 1998 album ‘Vincent Laguardia Gambini Sings Just for You’

Vincent Laguardia Gambini Sings Just for You was released on Columbia Records in 1998, far too late to cash in on the 1992 hit film about a New York lawyer trying to win his first case in rural Alabama. But the ultimate reason it flopped is that it is terrible. It’s so bad that (according to the impressive Howard Stern Show archives at SternSuperFan.com) Howard Stern turned down an interview with Pesci rather than agree to play any of his songs on the air. Vincent Laguardia Gambini Sings Just for You must have fallen into the category of “funny-bad” if the lyrics weren’t so resoundingly offensive. The worst example of both is “Wise Guy,” Pesci’s attempt at gangsta rap, in which he brags, among other things, about murdering beautiful women. If you’re dying to hear Joe Pesci rap, you can listen to it here, though I’d advise against it. (Also, if the real cousin Vinny talked like that, Mona Lisa Vito would leave him in a heartbeat.)

A more tolerable listen: Pesci’s cover of “What a Wonderful World,” which he has inexplicably chosen to sing without the title phrase. Check it out below.

The Chicago (Quarantine) Dinner & A Movie Guide added to Google Docs

The Chicago (Quarantine) Dinner & A Movie Guide

If you’re like us, right now your evenings revolve around two main questions: What to eat, and what to watch. Because let’s face it, there isn’t much else to do. So we’re here to make sure you’re doing dinner and a movie right. Below, you’ll find our picks for great delivery, and the perfect classic (according to us) movie to pair with it. We’ll be updating this regularly.

The spots J.P. Graziano Grocery & Sub Shop $ $ $ $ American , Sandwiches in West Loop $$$$ 901 W Randolph St 8.0 /10

Movie Pairing: Minority Report (Netflix)

“This 20-year-old sci-fi movie (based on a 1956 short story) takes place in 2054, and it’s always fun to see what older sci-fi gets right. In Minority Report’s case, it predicted targeted advertising long before attorney ads started appearing on your phone after a fight with your spouse. And seeing pre-crime cop Tom Cruise frantically wave his haptic gloves in front of a sophisticated future computer is even better when paired with the carefully-engineered sandwiches from GP Graziano. For example, the muffuletta, which has the perfect ratio of meat to giardiniera to fluffy bread. It’s also a nice nod to the sandwich Cruise doesn’t end up eating after his black market eye replacement surgery. But you should definitely eat yours before that scene - it’s pretty gross.” -AK

Bavette's Bar and Boeuf $ $ $ $ American , Steaks in River North $$$$ 218 W. Kinzie St. 8.8 /10

Movie Pairing: Clue (Prime)

“Bavette’s is my favorite place to eat far, far too much, and forget about the concepts of time and space and sobriety. But it also possesses the same mysteriousness that you’ll find in Clue. Whenever I eat here, I spend most of my time creating backstories for everyone else in the room and theorizing how we all ended up in the same dark and indulgent hall of meat at the same time. And even if none of us can currently experience that in person, sitting on my couch with a ribeye, bacon, creamed spinach, and some sourdough while watching Tim Curry do his Tim Curry thing is almost just as good. Just don’t touch my chocolate cream pie, or else the story’s going to end with, “Me. In the kitchen. With the lead pipe.” -MB

Lao Sze Chuan $ $ $ $ Chinese in Chinatown $$$$ 2172 S Archer Ave 7.8 /10

Movie Pairing My Cousin Vinnie (Hulu)

“I’ve always wondered why Marissa Tomei’s character Mona Lisa Vito in My Cousin Vinny is so hellbent on getting Chinese food in rural Alabama. They’ve just arrived in town after a nearly 16-hour drive where her fiance (Joe Pesci AKA Vincent Gambini AKA Joey Gallo AKA Jerry Callo) has to defend his nephew and another innocent young kid from getting put in the electric chair. One of the first words out of her mouth is “I bet the Chinese food here is terrible.” She’s being sarcastic, but there’s a deep layer of frustration in what she’s saying. I guess when you’re craving Chinese, nothing else will do. Order the salt and pepper prawns and the twice-cooked pork from Lao Sze Chaun and watch Tomei put on one of the best performances in movie history.” -CM

Movie Pairing: Cabin In The Woods (Hulu)

“I’ve had the privilege of seeing Cabin In The Woods with a skeptic who didn’t know anything about it. They were expecting a typical horror movie, and it was deeply gratifying to watch their surprise as it slowly registered how funny this movie is. And because most of Cabin In The Woods takes place (wait for it) in a cabin in the woods, it goes perfectly with food from Frontier, a restaurant that actually has antelope on the menu. You can go full cabin-mode and get elk or wild boar. Or take a cue from the movie and do a genre switcheroo. Order Frontier’s “stoner dinner” that includes a cheesesteak, flamin’ hot Cheetos, and red-velvet deep-fried oreo. What’s this spot doing with this particular meal on their menu? It doesn’t matter, just appreciate the surprise.” -AK

Pho 777 $$$$ 1065 W Argyle St

Movie Pairing: The Muppet Movie (Disney Plus)

“There are some things in this world that have an immediate calming effect. In this case, though, I’m referring to the opening notes of “The Rainbow Connection” played by Kermit the Frog at beginning of The Muppet Movie - not anything that comes in gummy form. The second I hear that banjo, I take a deep breath and know that for the next 97 minutes, I get to sit in a warm, content state and wonder things like, “But why a Studebaker?” and “Was there really a market demand at the Bogen County Fair for dragonfly ripple ice cream?” Pho makes me feel similarly, especially the Tai Bo Vien at Pho 777. It comes with round steak and those mysterious squeaky meatballs, and just the smell of the broth makes me feel f*ckng great. However, a gummy for dessert doesn’t seem like the worst idea either.” -MB

Split Rail $ $ $ $ American , Bar Food , Gastropub in Humboldt Park $$$$ 2500 W Chicago Ave 7.7 /10

Movie Pairing: My Girl (Netflix)

“My family used to own funeral homes. Like, seriously, Six Feet Under-style. Thankfully the business was sold before I was born, so I didn’t experience growing up in one. But my dad did, and that’s who I saw My Girl with for the first time. And he, a 46-year-old man, identified with 11-year-old Vada Sultenfuss even more than I did (an actual 11-year-old girl). Everything about this movie is very nostalgic and makes me feel coming-of-agey and sweet. Well, except for the traumatizing bee scene. Either way, nothing goes better with that feeling than a plate of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and fluffy biscuits from Split Rail.” -AK

Machine: Engineered Dining & Drink $$$$ 1846 W Division St

Movie Pairing: Tank Girl (Netflix)

“Tank Girl combines two of my favorite movie things: a post-apocalyptic wasteland and awesome futuristic hair. And while Mad Max is the dystopian GOAT, during this current situation I’ll take brightly colored ass-kickings delivered by Lori Petty over the grim brooding of Furiosa anytime. Basically, it’s the feel-good post-apocalyptic movie you didn’t know you needed. And nothing goes better with the fun, ridiculous tone of this film than one of the slightly-silly cocktails from Machine (they come with candy cages and a little hammer), and pairing it with a giant bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.” -AK

Tempesta Market $ $ $ $ Sandwiches , Deli in West Town $$$$ 1372 W Grand Ave 8.2 /10

Movie Pairing: _The Other Guys (Neflix)

“ I like The Other Guys so much I re-named my Wifi network Dirty Mike & The Boys. And every time I watch it, there’s something hilarious that I hadn’t noticed before. Like when I found out that the scene where Will Ferrel explains to Mark Whalberg that a lion attacking a tuna would be a bad idea was completely improvised. I could go on about all the phenomenal details in this movie, and how there’s truly just no wasted space at all. It’s hard not to say the same about Tempesta Market’s menu, where everything on it feels essential. Besides their delicious sandwiches (including a bacon, lettuce, tomato, egg, and giant hashbrown creation called the “Potato-nator”), they also sell a ton of stuff that will keep your pantry stocked. From Italian staples like giardiniera, dry pasta, and olive oil to wine, beer, meat, cheese, and gelato. If you’re (understandably) feeling like Whalberg’s character right now (“IT’S A BAD TIME, BOB!”), order something from Tempesta.” -CM

Gene’s Sausage Shop $$$$ 4750 N Lincoln Ave

Moving Pairing: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (Netflix)

“You know what I want to do right now? I want to go outside and dance in a crowd and sing in the street and take a joy ride in a vintage Ferrari while the Star Wars theme song plays in the background. Yes, I want to be Ferris for an afternoon. This movie makes me think of everything great about Chicago in the springtime - and like all great things in life, includes a nonsensical parade that peaks with the greatest lip-syncing of “Twist & Shout” ever filmed. Unfortunately, none of this is currently possible. So instead, I’ll settle for watching Cameron’s Seurat-induced epiphany over a few brats from Gene’s and pretend to be Abe Froman, the sausage king of - well, my apartment - for the day.” -MB

Sun Wah $ $ $ $ Chinese , BBQ in Uptown $$$$ 5039 N Broadway St 8.1 /10

Movie Pairing: Arrival (Prime)

From the minute Arrival starts, it’s clear that the stakes are as high as possible: the fate of the human race is in question because aliens. This is the kind of movie I live for - one that makes me so anxious I feel like I’m going to puke because I’m so invested in the characters, even with their giant flaws (this is also why I’m a Bulls fan). Therefore, the best way to watch Arrival is with as little distraction as possible since there’s already a lot going on (like how can a language make you time travel??). That’s why getting a barbecued duck combo from Sun Wah is ideal - you can just hold the takeout container up to your mouth and mindlessly eat as you watch Amy Adams try to save humanity.

Dimo's Pizza $ $ $ $ Pizza in Wrigleyville $$$$ 3463 N Clark St Not

Rated

Movie Pairing: Gremlins (Amazon)

“Hear me out: we are all Gizmo right now. After a month of being at home without access to my salon, gym, and favorite restaurants, I can definitely relate to the transformation from a sweet, adorable mogwai into a bitter, hideous gremlin - not to mention the compulsion to eat a ton of junk food after midnight. And eating something that only a child or drunk person (like mac and cheese pizza or s’mores pizza) from Dimo’s is what we all need. It’s the ultimate in pandemic f*ck it food.” -AK
